My results were a little high as well.. Per my doctor a normal range is 0-24 the first test resultI was 30 then my doctor requested to have it redone but fasting so I did and the results were 34.. She told me it was not that bad for me to worry.. If the results were to be higher than 100 then we would have to worry. BUT she did request an MRI just to be safe and make sure I'm ok. I'm still waiting for the results.

Oh yeah-I had a pituitary MRI also. Everything was fine with it. My level was something like 47 before I went on parlodel. Good luck with you MRI!

I had high prolactin. Unfortunately I only found out after having a miscarriage at 6 weeks. After the miscarriage we tried for a year with no luck. That's when my obgyn decided to run some tests on me. We found out I had high prolactin and hypothyroidism. High prolactin can be caused by different things, but it's very common caused by ur thyroid levels . Even though my thyroid levels weren't that high, my prolactin was! I saw an endocrinologist and he said he would try giving me medicine for the thyroid to see if that would lower my prolactin. If not he would give me something specific for the prolactin, or even have a MRI. In my case just the thyroid medicine helped everything! High prolactin can cause infertility so i went to see an infertility doctor. Came to find out I also had PCOS :(. Took 3 rounds of clomid, last one with the trigger shot and here I am 12 weeks pregnant!! I do have to take my thyroid medicine for the rest of my life and it was also increased during my pregnancy. But it's all worth it!! Good luck!!! :)

Well my husband and I been ttc for years and no luck.. Until this year I finally decided to see a doc.. She requested to be tested for progesterone, FHS, and prolactin. The results for the progesterone snd GHS were good but this one (prolactin) was not ok.. Then maybe that could be the reason why I haven't been able to conceive? I also had HSG done and found out my left tube is block but my right one is good. The weird thing is that I have normal periods. I would thought that having one tube block I would have irregular periods. Not sure.

Okay mine was 80 and it scared me thinking I have a small tumor in my pituitary... I don't have any other issues and my periods are regular and everything. I went for a second test fasting so we will see.. I feel like I will stay pretty stressed until get that positive..

I have now been taking cabergoline for over a month after finding out my prolactin levels were high (35). This comes after 3 years of ttc with no luck. I just did another blood test a week ago (after 4 weeks of medication) and my levels are now normal!

Don't worry hopefully everything is ok with you.. My RE called me few minutes ago and told me my MRI results came back good (normal) he wants me to have my prolactin tested again for the third time mid June hopefully results come back normal..

Yep. My levels were 56 before starting stims and the doc didn't get concerned until it was freaking 120 at my retrieval. Then I took parlodel for like 12 days until my beta came back positive. It was extra stress that I wish I hadn't had. I wish my RE would have treated it earlier since it was already pretty high at the very beginning of my cycle. But oh well, seems like it didn't hurt me.
